I am a visual storyteller. My background is in illustration and literature. My early career was as an illustrator-for-hire working in watercolor and pen-and-ink. I eventually segued into textiles and began making contemporary narrative art quilts which lead to becoming a teaching artist with the Ohio Arts Council and eventually as a studio artist working with adults with disabilities. Since retiring from paid work, I’ve gotten more experimental with technique, although the idea of working with narrative remains central to the work.

I work in fabric because of the tactile and textural qualities inherent in cloth, and I do narratives because the story is a natural starting point for me.I love stories, I love telling stories through pictures
